Announcing the Sue Baelen Community Award!

We are thrilled to announce the debut of the annual "Sue Baelen Community Award" which honors Midwife & Board Member Sue Baelen for her deep commitment to Natural Resources families. Sue has been our advocate within the greater community, all while continually guiding us toward greater achievements!

Sue embodies the values at the core of Natural Resources’ mission and has been deeply involved in the nurturing and growth of Natural Resources over decades of its existence. This award is established in her honor, to be given out each year to someone who similarly carries values of empowerment and community through their work and life. In its inaugural year, we are honored to give the Sue BaelenCommunity Award to the namesake herself, Sue Baelen!

We will present the award at our 2023 "Bloom" Gala on Saturday, May 6th - please join us as we celebrate Sue and our 35th birthday. See details below!
